Usually Winter signifies a time to bake in my household. It’s cold and cosy and the warm oven and delicious smells permeating the house really scream out comfort.

We are nearing the end of term two of the school year here in Queensland and I am losing my lunchbox mojo! I am fairly certain my kids are sick of eating apples and carrots for morning tea (not that there is anything wrong with these, some variety would be nice though!)

Today has been a rather random day here on the farm. I woke up this morning to the howling wind and freezing cold temperatures, so I had to light the fire! Third day of spring and I had to light the fire! Crazy! Our house is like an icebox though and tends to stay very … Continue reading →
